Nitrosotriptycene is found to be a potentially useful spin trap when used in organic solvents; the esr spectra of its spin adducts are simple, but they may show marked temperature dependence due to restricted rotation. Nitrosotriptycene traps primary alkyl radicals with a rate constant of ca. 2 × 107 L mol−1 s−1 at 40°C in benzene.

The use of 3,3,5,5-tetramethylpyrroline-N-oxide as a spin trap has been investigated. Spin adducts are found to be more persistent than for 5,5-dimethylpyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO) although the esr spectra are quite similar.

In spin trapping the N-methyl-N-phenylaminomethyl radical with nitrosodurene, an esr spectmm exhibiting line width alternation was observed despite the normal spectral pattern found with the use of nitroso-tert-butane. Nitrosodurene derivatives, N-duryl nitrone and methyl N-duryl nitrone, have been revealed to be other excellent spin traps for the N-, 0-, and S-centered radicals. Spin adducts of these radicals, which can be independently prepared by spin trapping with nitrosodurene, are stable and can be easily discriminated by large differences in β-hydrogen splittings or characteristic patterns. Methyl N-duryl nitrone reacted with tert-butyl hydroperoxide to give a spin adduct which could be clearly distinguished in the esr spectra from the tert-butoxy adducts prepared independently from other sources. Accordingly, it seems to be the tert-butylperoxy adduct. Similarly, hydrogen peroxide gave a different spectrum from the hydroxy adducts. Alkyl hydroperoxides caused molecule-induced homolysis with the nitroso compounds to produce alkoxy adducts of the respective nitroso compounds. Some phenyl and duryl alkoxy nitroxides undergo decomposition to give alkyl radicals which were trapped by the nitroso compounds.

The chemical origin of lyoluminescence has been probed using spin trapping techniques. Radicals derived from amino acids and saccharides by γ-irradiation in the solid state have been identified after trapping with aliphatic and aromatic nitroso compounds. Most of the radicals trapped were secondary alkyl radicals. Reaction of peroxyl radicals derived therefrom are thought to produce the emitting species (excited carbonyl compound and/or singlet oxygen). The effect which thermal annealing of the solids after γ-irradiation has on (a) the concentration of radicals in the solid, (b) the concentration of trapped radicals, and (c) the light yield has been investigated. One new water-soluble spin trap has been prepared.

In this publication we report: (i) the rate constants for reaction of the hydrated electron with 1-hexyn-3-ol ((8.6 ± 0.3) × 108 dm3 mol−1 s−1 at 18 °C), cinnamonitrile ((2.3 ± 0.2) × 1010 dm3 mol−1 s−1 at 20 °C), and 1,3-diethyl-2-thiourea ((3.5 ± 0.3) × 108 dm3 mol−1 s−1 at 22 °C). For cinnamonitrile and diethylthiourea, the temperature dependence up to 200 °C and 150 °C, respectively, is also reported; (ii) the rate constants for the reaction of the hydroxyl radical with 1-hexyn-3-ol ((5.5 ± 0.5) × 109 dm3 mol−1 s−1 at 20 °C), cinnamonitrile ((9.2 ± 0.3) × 109 dm3 mol−1 s−1 at 21 °C), and diethylthiourea ((8.0 ± 0.8) × 108 dm3 mol−1 s−1 at 22 °C). For cinnamonitrile, the temperature dependence up to 200 °C is also reported; (iii) the rate constant for the hydrogen atom reacting with 1-hexyn-3-ol ((4.3 ± 0.4) × 109 dm3 mol−1 s−1 at 20 °C). Keywords: radiolysis, corrosion inhibitors, rate constants.
